I met Mr. Burton last year at a networking event and decided to give him a try after I lost confidence in my previous attorney. Not only is he an extremely intelligent individual but unlike my previous attorney I feel I can trust him. I use the Burton law firm for all my business activities. Aside from the professional legal counsel that they provide I have been very impressed with their prompt responses. I can remember numerous times when I had a VERY important question and my previous attorney would take days to call back. Very professional firm and I would definitely recommend them.

My son informed me of his dilemma regarding a ticket he received for excessive speeding while driving in a construction zone. I knew it was extremely serious and he needed legal representation. I looked up the Internet for a local attorney close to where he is attending a trade school. Originally, Kristina was contacted via e-mail, for an appointment and meeting location. She was very accessible for the date and location.
The seriousness of my son’s case would result in his license suspension, no traffic school, DMV points, and extreme fines. During the two court appearances, Kristina met with the DA’s Office to negotiate reduction of speed, no points, traffic school, lesser fines, and no license suspension.
Kristina’s interaction during the entire process was that of deep caring and a positive outlook when we were less than hopefully.
We recommend Kristina wholeheartedly without reservation. She is an honest, hard-working, trustworthy, and caring attorney.

Kristina was a godsend! She knew exactly how to help me. I was so confused before I talked to her. I have to admit I was scared to talk to a lawyer because of the horror stories out there. 5 minutes with Kristina put all those fears aside. She not only made me feel comfortable, but also got me a great deal for my case. I could not have been in better hands and I highly recommend her to anyone!

Michael Wise is the best defense attorney money can buy. Great experience and very calm demeanor helped me receive a "NOT GUILTY" verdict May 17. 2016. Without Michael's knowledge and experience, I would not be here today. He and his staff (Connie) saved my life. Please give Michael Wise's office your call first. You will be glad you did..

I hired Mr. Dedecker for a dependency court case and the odds were really stacked against me. He fought really hard and secured my innocence despite the county counsel being against me. He took my case and he was optimistic about it from the start. He really cares and it shows. First he was incredibly knowledgeable. From the first conversation I had with him until the last he was able to successfully explain to me the process of my legal problem and what he was going to do to help me. He was very responsive to all my calls and questions and enthusiastic each time I spoke with him. I was shocked that he answered his phone on a weekend and was willing to talk to me! I definitely needed a lot of support during my difficult time and he was able to put me at ease. If you want an attorney that cares to listen to your concerns and helps you understand the system. I would recommend you hire Mr. Dedecker.
If you find yourself or your family faced with allegations by social services, YOU MUST HIRE A GOOD ATTORNEY! Do not make the mistake of thinking that just because you are innocent things will “sort itself out”. I would whole heartily recommend Mr. Dedecker to anyone facing a dependency case involving a minor. He was an integral part in helping us get my son back and my wife. We will always be forever grateful. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Mr. Dedecker

I would highly recommend Ibrahim Dbouk if you are looking for anyone to represent you. He is a honest, hardworking, and professional attorney hands down. He helped me get my DUI felony expunged very quickly and efficiently. I never thought I would be able to get it expunged. He’s always there to help answer any questions and always ensured that I understood the process and potential outcomes. Thanks to him, I now have a clean skate to start from and new opportunities to explore. Immensely grateful!! Thanks Mr,Dbouk!

I reached out to Webber Law Group during a very hard time in my life with a potential case. I was very discouraged at the time because other law firms that I reached out to not want to take on my case. Luckily, I found Webber Law and Kelsey took my case on! I really enjoyed working with everyone, anytime I had a question I would most immediately get a call back from Kelsey. My case almost approached 2 years (at no fault to the law firm) and Kelsey was always positive, upbeat and very wonderful at helping navigate the challenges faced. I couldn’t have got through that time without the support and help of Kelsey and his team. I know for others in my position it is scary to seek help from an attorney and you never know who you are dealing with and if they are qualified to assist you but I truly am so thankful to have found this law firm and I highly suggest putting your trust into Kelsey and his team. Thank you so much Kelsey, I am forever grateful for your guidance, patience and hard work!!

Thank you, Hank!

When my father's insurance company denied rehab services after his leg amputation and we were unsuccessful in appealing the decision on our own, Hank Greenblatt and his team stepped in and fought tirelessly on our behalf to get the services my father needed for a successful recovery. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend Mr. Greenblatt and his team. Without their grit and tenacity during the arduous process, we would not have gotten the care for my father that his doctors ordered. Once Mr. Greenblatt and team were helping us, he helped lower my family's collective anxiety - his relatable style combined with his passion for fighting for what's right are the perfect combination.

I recently worked with Hannah Myers’s to do some estate planning. She met wit me for over an hour to explain the process of setting up a family trust and answered all of my many questions. There was no pressure to use her law firm at that point, she just gave me her card and I was able to have time to think about the direction I wanted to go. Of course she was so thorough and knowledgeable that I ended up paying a deposit and getting started on the process. She sent all the draft documents to me promptly for me to review before out final appointment to sign all documentation. She helped me analyze several family scenarios to help me figure out what options I had when making big financial and health decisions. I appreciated all of her help and have since recommended her to two friends

Trust me when I say there is no better attorney. Dan was recommended to me by another attorney for a rather complicated case with Social Security. When I spoke to Dan over the phone, he explained the process thoroughly and was very patient with me when I had questions. As a resident of San Francisco, I have an array of attorneys to choose from, especially in the Bay Area, and out of all the ones I spoke to (there were several), Dan was the best one for the job. Dan is definitely worth the commute to his Sacramento office.
Appealing to Social Security is a tedious and stressful process, and Dan handled my case with the utmost care. He's extremely knowledgeable and was clear-cut at explaining the process to me where I could understand it plainly. It took roughly over one year to hear back from Social Security, but Dan would check in with me periodically to reassure me he's on top of things, and that we're just waiting to hear back from Social Security. Dan is incredibly intelligent and is skilled with these proceedings. He was very calm throughout the process and explained to me in detail what’s to be expected, and ultimately won my case. He’s worth every penny and more, and if you're feeling gracious, please don’t forget to tip your attorney or buy him/her lunch.

Dan Lee...this man is remarkable! He was my attorney for a workers compensation case. He fought tooth and nails for me and never let up. I would recommend him 100% and if I ever needed a workers compensation attorney again, I wouldn't think twice! Words honestly cannot express my gratitude!

I’ve been in law enforcement for over 40 years, and I’ve known Dan Lee for the past 10 years. I’ve dealt with more attorneys in my profession than I care to count, but I’m glad to have Dan as my lawyer. He helped me go through the long and stressful workers compensation process this last time, and even though I hated it for the most part, my partner Dan took care of me. He explains everything clearly and in detail, and he tells me all the good news with the bad. He even helped me pull through on my Social Security SSI case which was also a headache. In the end, I was very happy with the settlement even though I was frustrated with all these changes in laws and medical care denials and all that nonsense. If you have a workers comp claim that you need problems solved and to make a plan, go see Dan.

I hired Mike Ross as my lawyer two years ago for a case regarding a spurious robbery charge. Why review him now? Because after I went onto multiple sites including this one in order to warn people of my experiences I decided against it because he had been negatively reviewed into the ground. Indeed, even before I hired him, I printed out the reviews that greatly troubled me, and showed him and asked for his explanation.
Using the greatest skill he ever showed me, he deftly wound each story into the other. So many reasons from each client. Bitterness. Regret. Lack of financing. His inability to help them due to them either hamstringing him, or going against his advice, or just being guilty with overwhelming evidence against them.
I was glued to these stories, and impressed with his speaking style. Surely, I thought, if he defends me with even a modicum of the same skill, this is an easy win, right? Looking back, he divulged way too much information, and I wonder what he tells people of me now, even what rationalizations he uses to say why I am just like all the other clients he discredited.
I don't know what he's done or how, but this site now shows a five star average rating for him. It's both ridiculous and impressive. I'd laugh if he hadn't caused so much harm. Reputation is everything, and it is fitting that Mike Ross' reputation is the only thing he will work his magic to defend and protect.
I chose Mike Ross because I was impressed that a lawyer of his experience could be had for the price point. Careful what you wish for. Other lawyers had quoted me anywhere from 12-25k to go to trial, which I was deadset on, being falsely accused. He quoted me a paltry 10 grand. 5 up front, two payments splitting the rest after. What a deal! i quickly signed our agreement and paid him the first 5k and then an additional 2.5 very shortly after, eager to secure such a skilled man before any one else monopolized him. The only thing that tripped me at the time was his equal rush for me to sign, and a tiny portion of fine print saying the quote was for "pretrial services", which of course was not what we agreed. But he laughed it off, said they'd grabbed the wrong papers, and crossed it out, writing over it in what seemed like pen, that it was including trial services once full payment was received. Hindsight, right?
So how did it go?
We had film and witnesses proving my innocence. I truly felt there was nothing that could possibly go wrong. I felt strange that I only ever called him, never the reverse, but if it was such a slam dunk, so what?
Then he deposed me, but not really, it was the last time I ever saw him. He met me in a secluded spot out in old town Sac by the river and took notes on my version of events. He noted that I had not gathered the relevant film nor contacted the relevant witnesses, to my shock, which he said he'd guess he'd have to do then. He never did. Then for three months before the trial, ignored my calls with the exception of his secretary calling to inquire about the final 2.5k, which we'd already agreed he'd get once the trial date was set, which also should have alerted me.
On the date of the pretrial hearing, we went on Zoom, he came on late, and just destroyed any hope I had. He said he was there for pretrial only, and not my main council. Then once I, flabbergasted, asked to recess the hearing to talk to him on the phone, he denied. The ADA offered a bad deal never discussed, and Ross stopped it and said then and there that if I didn't accept it, he was gone, and I was on my own. I had no more money, and therefore no way to sue him, and worst, was blindsided at my greatest hour of need. He knew this. I made what deal I could without him and just plead out. No evidence, no witnesses, he had never done any work he promised. Just like that, he disappeared.
You will regret any relationship to this man. Maybe he erases this too. Please don't make my mistake!

In 2023, my license application was initially denied in California due to a background issue, even though no other state had taken any action. It was an incredibly stressful time, but I reached out to Paul and AJ for help. They handled my case with expertise and dedication, and while the process took over a year, the outcome was worth it. Thanks to their efforts, my license was reinstated in full, without any restrictions. I highly recommend Paul and AJ to anyone dealing with licensing issues or needing assistance. They truly deliver exceptional results!

Jeff Kravitz and his team are extremely knowledgeable in the areas of professional license defense and should be the first call you make when facing practice related accusations and disciplinary actions. Although there are no guarantees if you find yourself in such circumstances, he certainly can help you navigate the proceedings if you find yourself the subject of an investigation or disciplinary actions that may lead to interruptions in employment.

As Paul said, my case is unique. Even though I’m not sure what the outcome will be, I know that Paul and AJ are working diligently to secure a favorable one. If you’re looking for a lawyer to save your license, I’d recommend Paul. If you’re looking for a nurse support group, reach out to Paul as well as he set me up in Cathy’s group and that’s been very helpful in being able to vocalize concerns only people in our situation would experience. Don’t respond to the BRN or diversion, should you receive any correspondence regarding issues with practice. Do what I didn’t do and secure legal representation immediately. It could save your livelihood. Let Paul save what you worked hard for.

After researching family law attorneys and reading many reviews, I decided to schedule a consultation with Jason Wagner and I’m so glad I did! He was very patient, truly took the time to understand my situation, educate me on the court system, explain all the possible outcomes and discuss potential strategies.
He really demonstrated that he is very knowledgeable, has a lot of experience and is very passionate about what he does.
Facing the legal system can be very scary for those of us who don’t understand it and I left my meeting with Jason feeling knowledgeable, empowered and like I had a true advocate on my team.
Finding a good family law attorney can be overwhelming but I can attest that Jason Wagner is one of the best!

I hired Julia to represent me in a collaborative divorce after a couple of glowing recommendations. No recommendation could have compared to the extraordinary experience that I had with Julia as my attorney. My case was unusual in that it started as collaborative but eventually became quite litigious due to the unprofessionalism and misrepresentation of the opposing attorney. Julia was steadfast in her support of my case and was committed to seeing it to closure. She was always professional, displayed very high integrity, was extremely communicative and adept at explaining everything to me. She's very efficient, highly observant and a true strategist. She doesn't get rattled and is continually working towards resolution. She is also warm and thoughtful, so I felt so well cared for throughout the process. She stayed true to the collaborative process as much as she could given the unusual nature of my case yet truly represented my interests and that of my children. I cannot recommend Julia more to anyone interested in mediation or collaborative divorce. She is truly the best!
